than to come to come to the close of this brief, earthly existence, having missed the point of it all?
One day, for each of us, the light of this world must snap out, and the light of the next be turned on. Will it be a day of great gladness, on which we embark upon the greatest experience for a human soul, that of soaring into eternity and into the presence of God, filled with an irrepressible sense of anticipation and glory? Or will it be a day of terror, when your conscience, the lifelong witness to your deeds, and partner of your cares, will remember the wounds of a lifetime in your service, and shriek out in final anger- "What have you done to us? Where have you brought us? I tried to tell you when you went wrong! You would never listen! You ignored my every cry! Now it is too late. O, how I warned you! I warned you!'
You have a conscience. Think about the implications of this. Think what it points to - your Creator and His standards, and your accountability.

Amen! Jesus says:
Mark 1:15
"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

What could be more foolish than to believe one will not be held accountable by God?
"For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of a corruptible man and of birds and four footed animals and crawling creatures." Romans 1:21-23
"I am the way the truth and the life, NO man comes to the Father, but through Me. John 14:6

And further...
What could be more foolish than to assume what you believe is correct beyond anything else? To do so...
Stunts personal, potential growth.
Stunts the ability to view the world from an open mind.
Stunts your chances of knowing the "other" from a place of love and understanding.
Stunts your ability to view the universe from the point of view of the Quantum Field, thus stunting your ability to create.
Living your life from the point of view of "carrot and stick" stunts everything. You must abide by ancient law and ancient standard that in itself, could well be a lie. Your reward will be what you expect - in that you create your reality - but your personal creation will not have been generated from your soul or the sense of who you really are as a human being. It will be an empty creation. Pretty on the outside but hollow on the inside.
Truly. I pity you.

God doesn't expect perfection from us. Nor do I think we'll be punished inthe after life. He made us humans with many flaws, so we can learn from them.
